The Middle White is a British breed of domestic pig.[5][4] It originated in Yorkshire, and derived from the Large White and the now-extinct Small White.[6]: 144 It was recognised in 1852, and the first herd-book was published in 1884.[7] It is a porker, reared for fresh pork (rather than for bacon or for lard like some other breeds of pig), and is characterised by a short and sharply-upturned snout.[8] After the Second World War it came close to extinction; although numbers have recovered somewhat, it is listed by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust as "priority" – the highest level of risk.[3]
